    I’m impressed you were so quality conscious at the time, almost as if you were always looking ahead into the future.

    Well, that’s both a blessing and a curse with me. I do have a tendency to be a bit of a perfectionist, which can be both a a good quality as well as be quite hindering, depending on what it is that you’re doing and try to accomplish. So over the years I tried and learned to cope. In case of “collecting” movies and music, I really was looking ahead. I bought my first CDs at a time when I couldn’t actually afford a CD player, but I knew one day I would. Same with movies, I knew one day a better format would come along, and so it was.

    I keep all my movies and shows in binders, but I only keep a movies I really love. I only keep shows that maintain quality, that are episodic, or have definitive, and good, endings. The only CDs I own are Telarc classical, John Williams OSTs, and Blue Note jazz. The only videogames I play are by Hironobu Sakaguchi and Yuji Horii. I own five comic series and exactly 12 board games. I have 100 issues of Star Wars Insider. I own two bookshelves for my six favorite authors and a smattering of others. I have just enough space left to own the 70s run, and only the 70s run, of Analog: Science Fiction, Science Fact. I have very little money, and even less space. Obviously, my input is higher, or I wouldn’t know what to buy, but really, get rid of stuff, it’s fun.

    The vast majority of my collection is made up of music to which I have not seen the corresponding film or TV show.

    And I am not and never have been a film buff.

    According to iTunes I have 18 different versions of “Jingle Bells” in my collection, including two by John Williams.

    Including King Lear? That could be ten of them.

    No King Lear counted. 🙂

    Is there Jingle Bells in King Lear? I have King Lear on a Chandos recording, but don’t think I have ever listened to it yet.

    It’s easy and cumbersome at the same time. Copy/paste the text you want to quote, then mark it, then press “B-QUOTE”.

    Thanks, Thor. Still struggling though, can’t highlight the text for some reason, probably my age 🙂

    Nick, I’m not sure the Chandos has the “Songs of the fool”,so 18 might still be accurate. In essence, Shakespeare set to the tune of Jingle Bells.
